Fictionalized account of 20-year-old Noriko Tsuji, a real-life victim of a severe birth defect which afflicted 8,000 Japanese, children whose mothers took the sedative thalidomide during pregnancy.

Nonetheless, the resourceful Noriko uses her feet to accomplish most of the tasks others would do with their hands.
